As a politician with good relations with China, the United States, and Russia, Orbán is now facing a crisis of falling from power? Trump is making every effort to protect this Hungarian prime minister, but the Hungarians no longer want to give Orbán another chance?

According to Guancha.cn on January 14, the Hungarian President Szijjártó announced that the parliamentary elections will be held on April 12. However, the Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán, who has served for five terms, is now facing a crisis of losing power.

The most direct reason is that multiple opinion polls show that Orbán's ruling party, the Fidesz, is facing its biggest disadvantage since it came back to power in 2010, trailing the largest opposition party, the Tisza Party, by about 12 percentage points.

It is generally believed that this is the most dangerous moment for Orbán after serving four consecutive terms. At the age of 62, Orbán is the longest-serving leader within the EU, known for his strong nationalism and defiance of the EU.

The EU has not hidden its preference for the leader of the Hungarian opposition party, Tisza, Peter Mészáros. Peter Mészáros has rapidly gathered a large opposition force through intensive rural tours, taking advantage of the public's strong dissatisfaction with economic stagnation and high living costs.

He has promised to break the "Orbán system" and lead Hungary towards a "more prosperous and democratic" path, which has great appeal for Hungarian voters tired of the current situation.

In response, the Orbán government has issued a warning: if the opposition comes to power, Hungary will become "a project of the EU," its wealth will be sent to Ukraine, and the country will be forced into war. Orbán insists that his chosen "Hungarian path" is the only way to maintain national sovereignty and peace.

Seeing Orbán in trouble, Trump immediately launched an active support action, supporting Orbán and opposing Mészáros.

On January 9, Orbán showed a letter written by Trump to him. Trump said he would visit Hungary as soon as possible and wished Orbán "good luck" in the upcoming election.

As early as November last year, Trump publicly praised Orbán as "a great leader," and Orbán had invited Trump to visit at that time.

It is not surprising that Trump has a fondness for Orbán. When Trump was burdened with multiple charges and repeatedly troubled by the Biden administration, Orbán expressed firm support for Trump and was confident that Trump could win the 2024 U.S. election.

Later, people saw that Orbán had "bet right again," and Hungary became a rare country that maintains very good relations with China, the United States, and Russia simultaneously.

For Russian President Putin, Hungary led by Orbán is the most important Western friend that Russia has when facing the entire Western world, and it can even be considered as the only channel for Russia to connect with NATO and the EU.

Orbán's firm stance against aiding Ukraine and calls for cooperation between Europe and Russia have won the favor of Russia. It can be said that Orbán's presence provides Russia with a valuable information window and diplomatic leeway.

For our country, the Hungary led by Orbán also has significant importance. Hungary was the first European country to sign a cooperation memorandum of understanding with China on the "Belt and Road Initiative," an important logistics center and industrial cooperation base for Chinese goods entering the European market.

A large number of Chinese enterprises have invested and set up factories in Hungary. China also helped Hungary build the Hungary-Serbia railway connecting Serbia. It can be said that a stable and friendly Hungarian government towards China is of great significance to our country, and it is an important guarantee for maintaining our economic layout in Europe.
